During my twilight sleep at night when I can’t discern between falling or dreaming,  I often get messages for my writings. Lately, messages for my books are about bullying. The last book  I wrote, Special Needs Children The Angels On My Shoulder, had a theme about bullying. Are these messages from the angels? I believe so.

The other night one line ran through my head. It wasn’t  a voice, just a sentence….

Find the meaning in your own incredible life. 

Working with my special students gave me a purpose in life. Helping their self esteem through encouragement and kindness helped me. These kind and vulnerable students changed my world and my belief in my hope for humanity. They thrived on the kindness.   

As a child I witnessed bullying and was bullied. I saw my own students and children suffer because of bullying at school.  As I have written before in my mind the bully never wins.. ever. The words that came to me on that night have found a solid place in my heart. Despite cruelty from others we all can find the meaning in the life God has given us.  I know for sure the angels have been on my shoulders for years encouraging kindness. Angels are on the shoulders of all my former students, my family, my friends and all of us who do the best they can each day.

I wonder if the sad bully who enjoys hurting others ever lets the angels’ voiceless words in at night as they drift to slumber…
